aprentice mentioned "roundhouse" in another thread about 3 phase 4 wire multiwire branch circuits. I have heard this before, but I always call them a "family"...

Kearney's, split bolts are a common name here but a BUG is the 38 J-frame I keep in my ankle holster...
Madison's I've never heard but battleship is a common name, we call them E-strips over here. I don't know why though, they do look more like an F.
How many know what an Ericson is, or Kindorf?

I'd never heard any other term than split-bolt myself, until today. We never use them. When we have to make taps we use c-taps. Seen them used for illegal service changes.
Madison clamps is the term I use although f-clips, f-clamps, battleships are common.
Call all 'em "Kleins".
Any body here call water bond clamps j-juniors?
Do you know what greenfield is?
Soap? (Yellow-77)
Used an ericsons (coupling) once in 13 years.

Regardless of age, I would guess that most anybody who has ever held a yellow ticket (even in their shoe) would know the terms; Kearney (bug), Nines, Erickson, Greenfield, Crows Knuckle, Kendorf, Sta-Cons, Jake EL (Jiffy EL), Square-to-round, Spin Tight, Mini, Hickey, Pump Pliers, Scotch Lock, and Junior.
FWIW, what do you call the other pouch on your tool belt where odd parts are kept? Bug Bag

You should be careful how you use the slang for a "motor connection box" as this one GEEK calls it.
